6 AM. Micro-Poetry by Chriselda Barretto

How deep is deep?

Wells of knowledge in your eyes

Deeply surrendering, melting that ice

Inhibitions torn apart, no need to ire

Smartness slaps through on a vengeful echo

Graceful and divine like a cloud on fire

See it blossoming now, for the extravagant show!

A micropoem by ©Chriselda Barretto

SLEEPLESS

Tossing and turning

Twisting and intertwining

Yet so thoroughly interesting

These sleepless nights you are giving

Am I dreaming or is it real

This feeling surmounting surreal

Stay here I could

Wishing for an eternal good

Encompassing my every mood

Living how I really should!

A poem by ©Chriselda Barretto

6 AM. Poetry by Chriselda Barretto

MY GUILTY PLEASURES

Guilty little pleasures on high

Sweet divinities raised on a blissful ride

Melting magic dripping off a special pride

Sigils of love bringing on joyful, longing cries!

Say my name and I will yours

Absence of inhibitions, all but tender cures

Let us leave behind those sickly fires

Breathing on life and its mighty, brilliant drives!

STARS

She sensed him

Though across the room

Her eyes fled open

Searching for his magnetic pull

Lost in this surreal attraction

He felt her unknown gaze

The deepest smoky black eyes

Staring at him from afar

Searching…anticipating the find

Explosions of hidden bliss

This unfelt fear, erratic and forlorn

The long awaited meeting of two souls!

Higher up in the heavens

A new star being born and risen!

A poem by Chriselda Barretto

49 years 💜

A little bit of nostalgia 💜 accompanied with a huge heart filled message…

To my lovelies – “Mummy and Daddy” dear!

Yesterday was your 49th wedding anniversary and today marks your first day towards your gold…

You both have been through it all, mom always standing resilient and tall

Our rock of support, was, is and always will be you both

Wish you much more strength, love, commitment with every fold

I write this to you, highlighted in gratitude and affection in a font, fantastically bold!

🖤❤️💜💕💋

6 am Poetry

Forgiveness

Drops of water sliding down my hand

Lines of age running down my palm

Mingling thoughts of joy and pain

Where did they go to,

all my years, those since I was born?

Tears welling up into my eyes

The pain I caused, the hurt I initiated

Was it retaliation, ego or just my pride?

Did I seek forgiveness, or did it not matter?

For I was the king of my very own parlour!

Here we are then, at the road’s end

Shouting out loud, but nobody hears

For I am too weak to even speak!

One last sigh then, one last try…

If it’s all the strength I have in me

Hear me whisper out like a lashing sea

“Please, please forgive me…”

Lockdown Blues

It used to be called the summer blues

Now though, it’s those lockdown blues

Caught up in these four walls

Memories captivated in just a few scrolls!

Love, passion, pain and boredom

Mingled emotions running high in random

Discoveries made with every secret revealed

Eyes opened, outside all being closed!

You were my lockdown love

Passing our time with every line

Chats on free, images to a pixelated fine

Churning thoughts to a crescendo, all mine!

Oh! Bring back those days and those bright nights

To turn on these dulled out,

“back to normal” lights!

A poem by Chriselda Barretto
